Hi Guys,
is it possible to migrate from Oracle Internet Directory to Apache
Directory Server?
Should be possible sure. I think OID is not as bad as going from AD to
ApacheDS. Has been a while since I looked at OID though. Should be
pretty
straight forward from what I can remember. Just give it a try and move
your schema over and see. LDAP is LDAP (unless you're talking AD) and
in
theory it should work.
Yes, this is definitively possible, but this will require some work, for
sure. Basically, as I said in another mail, you will have to :
- convert the schema from OID to ADS/OpenLDAP format
- export/import the data (easy: LDIF)
- check the syntaxCheckers and comparators used in OID, eventually write
the same in ADS.
This presumes you want all Oracle specific schema elements. He just wants
to move his application specific schema which many just be using a few
elements. This is not at all so monumental a task. Most likely the
matchingRules and syntaxes already exist and it's just a matter of creating
the objectClasses and attributeTypes which can be done immediately.
True. I just tried to envision the worst possible case ;)
We have everything in place even to do this dynamically by adding these
schema elements even without stopping the server.
I have to write more user level information about the dynamic schema
subsystem. I should have done this after writing it and we're paying for
that since not many people know what this thing can do.
btw, another GSoC potential project : Automated Migration Tools !
